I considering taking my narrowboat over to France this summer, after ‘The First Annual Floating Tionol’ (Come on you waverers book on to the last few places).
You can have a canal boat taken over the channel in the back of a lorry, on a ferry. apparently the liveaboard life over there is great.
Anyway we want to cruise around in the summer months so I am looking at trying to make a living busking, with a costume, CD’s to sell etc. On the street and in cafes etc. Anyone tried it over there? Any hints and tips.
yeh ive tryed it a few years ago in bordo not sure that spellings right, but any way was playing in a bar over there for a couple of weeks and went buskin a couple of times,didnt make any money but alot of people would stand and look at the pipes, but wouldnt have over the lolly.also a hint make sure you have your passport or some i.d. with you i think its a law over there you have to carry it.but its a nice place and the wheathers great,and the ladies ?
it was the connemara alan, two weeks in march and two in april almost didnt get payed off that nob head frank it took me about 3 months to get payed.i wouldnt play there again.i dont know about passing a glass around you could try it and see i was only in bordeo, and biritz, but there are alot of irish bars over there paris is probably good lots of people. i here madrid is pretty good for buskin too.
